A[quote name="Reasor" url="/community/t/155378/marvels-cloak-and-dagger-on-freeform#post_4044602"]It's as if we made that happen with our minds, talking about these two characters earlier this week in the Supes/Batfleck thread.[/quote]

No one's watching at all? That's a shame, because this is easily one of the very best shows Marvel TV has done to date.
The pacing is deliberate, but not slow. The characters and supporting cast are all fully realised and feel like actual people.
The retooling of the mythology and location change to New Orleans just plain works. And the two leads have undeniable chemistry together. In the back end of the season now (6 out of 10 eps total) and for my money it's right, right up there.

It is at times, yeah, but not too often thankfully. When it's not, I find it's quite maturely handled - pretty much the exact opposite of the typical teen drama everyone was expecting.
Love how subtle the effects are, too - that shot of Tyrone teleporting back to the bench with all the water looked great!

Kinda, but not how you'd expect. Their whole origin is tied into a Roxxon oil rig explosion 8 years ago that resulted in tragedy for both of their families. Eight years later where the story picks up, we discover that they were digging for oil, but found something else. Since they covered it all up (because Roxxon) and carried on with their city contract to instill ducting and vents all through the city, what they found is about to become a big problem.

I'm not shitting you when I say this is one of the best written, impressive comic book shows I've seen in years, and being a huge fan of the comics I came into this with very low expectations. Never been happier to be wrong - folks are missing out.

Yep, that ended as strongly as it ran throughout the season. Love how the two leads have effectively swapped places from the season premiere. Can't wait for season 2, the introduction of Mayhem and more fantastical elements - bring it on!
